How the 9 LG families here actually differ
These are not marketing tiers. Each group below behaves differently under diagnosis, which is why a procedure written for one does not transfer to another, and it is the first thing to settle before following any fix.
LG dryer; identify electric/gas or heat-pump/ventless design before diagnosing heat and airflow.
- DLEX6500 electric dryer DLEX6500*
- DLEX5500 electric dryer DLEX5500*
- DLEX4500 electric dryer DLEX4500*
- DLEX4000 electric dryer DLEX4000*
- DLGX6501 gas dryer DLGX6501*
- DLGX4001 gas dryer DLGX4001*
Ventless heat-pump dryer; lint filters, condenser airflow and water drainage differ from vented dryers.
- DLHC5502 heat-pump dryer DLHC5502*
Compact ventless heat-pump dryer; no exterior exhaust vent.
- DLHC1455 compact heat-pump dryer DLHC1455*
Stacked WashTower; this record covers the dryer section and shared controls.

Structured depth, not empty permutations
Every published record carries a direct answer, scope, ordered fixes, risk notes and sources.
Device and manufacturer hubs share a consistent record system, but each answer carries the relevant controls, fault boundaries, consequences and official support entry point for that platform.
